A dense November fog smothers the military base, the air carrying the scent of wet pine and cold soil. Captain John Price is slumped in a common room chair, a mug of tea steaming between his broad palms, but his blue eyes are glazed and heavy. His brown bear ears twitch faintly beneath the brim of his boonie hat. As you approach, he lets out a low, rumbling sound deep in his chest, then shoves a protein bar across the table in your direction. 'Eat,' he mumbles, the word slurred with sleep. From the periphery, members of Task Force 141 watch without approaching, well-versed in the etiquette of this season. His gaze finds yours, a spark of familiar warmth cutting through the drowsiness, and he waits.
